Gayle - I totally voted for you :-) - and would have even if I didn't know what an awesome gal you are -- because yours is the most striking transofrmation on there! -Christina

Hey guys - What a bunch of challenging workouts you've done! I'm feeling kinda blue since I just got a bit of a dressing down from our department chair. Don't you hate that? And the worst part is, he's right - I slipped up. Gr. At times like this it is SO easy for me to beat up on myself and...

Hey guys - Just stopping in before I have to head out to the next appt of the day. I did bis and tris from 4DS this AM. I had to dig out some heavier weights from the garage - so that's a good thing! Then I stopped by my new gym and had the personal trainer show me how all the different...

Hi Guys! Just stopping in before my morning workout - it's cardio today and I am doing the Bootcamp from 4DS. I'm going into this one with an extra dose of motivation thanks to you all this morning! I completly love and agree with Stephanie's post on the ripple effect - it is so true...

Just dropping in to say Hi! I woke up at 4 AM with some serious back pain – which I’m hoping I can work out with some stretching and Advil ‘cause I want to do LIS and arms today…Sometimes it seems like my exercising is limiting more by my joints than by my muscles… Belinda – Way to go...

Morning everyone – In honor (well, fear) of my husband’s mighty flu, I’m taking a rest day today. No way do I want to come down with anything, especially not on a Friday with the whole weekend ahead of me! He is in a pitiful state, poor thing. I must say I am feeling good about my BFL...

RE: BFL ~~~~Happy Valentine's Day ~~~~~ for Thu Feb 14t... Hey everyone! You guys are on fire today!! I am happy to be part of such a great group of committed athletes! Belinda – Great job on the runs this morning! How many hours is Germany ahead of the US? I just want to figure out if...

RE: BFL ~~~~Happy Valentine's Day ~~~~~ for Thu Feb 14t... Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! To celebrate, I'll be taking care of my poor DH who came down with the flu yesterday :( . Oh well - in sickness and in health, as they say. I just hope I don't catch it! Last two days have been...

Hey Sherry - One cinnamon roll: yum! More: VERY BAD :-) !! Stay strong! - Christina

Hey Everyone – Sorry to be MIA today. What a busy day at work! I guess it’s payback for being half asleep on the job all yesterday! Anyway – I wanted to give you guys that granola recipe from Oxygen. There was actually a mistake in the serving size – it makes 30 1/2-cup servings – not...

Hey guys – (Still swilling coffee to compensate for early rising….and putting off actual work at office) - PLB kicked my rear as usual – but in a good way! Tried the weightlifters’ granola recipe from this month’s Oxygen for meal 2. Yum! It’s got dried apples, cranberries, apricots...

Morning to everyone! Belinda and Tammy - hope you had great workouts! Can't believe I am posting this early (I'm not exactly a morning person :-)) -- but my DH committed to getting up and exercising before his 9 AM class, so I figured I'd give him some moral support! I am off to do...

Hi Girls - Just checking in to say hi! You have all been going gang-busters as usual, I see! I got back home from Boston last night - had a really great time, especially at the Fine Arts Museum on Saturday with my aunt and cousin. We don't have too much culture where I live, so it's a real...

Morning everyone – and especially to the Birthday Girl! Have a wonderful day Gayle!!! Kathy – How are those legs doing after your workout? Sherry – Awesome job on your clean eating! That’s great that you ran a 5K before you turned 40! Can I steal your goal?? I never believed I could be a...

Hey Melissa - Yep - I'm headed your way! At least, I think I am :-) ! Right now I'm scheduled to get into Logan at midnight - oh boy! And I've had to cancel out on seeing the Alvin Ailey dance troupe with my aunt tonight - bummer cause I'm sure their gorgeous athleticism would have been...

Oh hey - another thought about eating - I think we sometimes have a tendency to eat too few calories. It's like that old 1200-1400 calorie a day dieting mentality kicks in....but hard working girls need WAY more calories than that. So maybe we feel snacky during the day cause we actually need...

Hi Gayle - (Writing from airport terminal where I am delayed 4 hrs....well, hopefully only 4 hrs :-) ) I think you raise a really good question. I also completely relate with Melissa when she talks about being scared of getting "there." Cause then where's the motivation? I don't think I...

Wow you guys are quick this morning!Sorry to be MIA yesterday - I'm flying to Boston today to give a talk.....and yesterday was full of preparations (Not that I am prepared yet....I never really feel 100% prepared....but I try to do my best....) Can you tell I am nervous?? So yesterday I did...

Just checking in from work where I am getting a little bit of the late-in-the-day blahs. But I need to get psyched cause I teach a class at 4:30...And I have a talk to prepare for a conference in Boston on Friday...Anyway - Belinda – Way to go on your weight loss!! Hope you enjoy the new...

Morning Girls -- Just stopping by to report on my morning workout: it's a cardio day, and I did Boot Camp, which I modified by lightening up on the weights and keeping my feet moving throughout so it was more of an interval cardio workout instead of a circuit workout. Boy am I wiped! You...
